Jean Gumpper is a Colorado-based printmaker who works
in the technically demanding printmaking method of the
reductive woodcut. Her subject matter includes colorful
woodland scenes, dense forest foliage, sun-dappled trees,
and shimmering reflecting ponds. A student of Asian culture,
Gumpper’s images suggest the serene qualities of traditional
Japanese prints.
